On page 12 we learn that UTM is a form of TM.

However there is no way one can construct their relationship just from
reading what is written there.

Trial and error reveals

$ cat e
ll='121 24'
echo $ll|proj +proj=utm   +lon_0=123
echo $ll|proj +proj=tmerc +lon_0=123 +x_0=500000 +k=0.9996
$ sh e
296550.01       2655671.20
296550.01       2655671.20

Indeed the above would be a great example to put in the document.

Also revealed is the completely unmentioned +k=0.9996 .
